Visit to Taos yesterday

I just returned from Taos where we visited the home of this master artist. I believe him to be one of the foremost painters ever.

I think that I learned so much from looking at his techniques and reading the book about him and how he described ART in that book.

His techniques were very interesting to read about but I was most intrigued by his insistence upon three things:
  • Creating form before painting.
  • The overall unified execution of the canvas.
  • The infusion of the artist's artistic vision into the work.

Needless to say, I'm so grateful for seeing the place and the paintings. It was wonderful.
